The first question that brings us here is:
Why do we purify?
Because cleanliness is from faith, purity is half faith and God doesn’t accept prayer, which is the pillar of religion and the second pillar of Islam, except through purity.
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said: “Purity is the part of faith.”
The Prophet (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said: “Allah doesn’t accept prayer without purification.”
Just as God loves the beautiful, clean and good-looking believer, the Almighty said: “God loves the repentant and loves the purified.”
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said: “Allah is beautiful and loves beauty.”
The Prophet (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said: “A Muslim man doesn’t perform ablution then prays, unless Allah forgives what is between his prayer right now and the next one.”
Here with the second question:
How do we purify?
We purify by preserving the Sunan of Fitra and the Sunan of Fitrah: are the qualities that a person has instinct on (i.e. created on them) and in which he has the most beautiful form and the best appearance, which are the following:
1- Miswak
It is recommended to use miswak all the time, but it is confirmed that it is desirable in these places:
- Ablution.
- Prayer.
